LOCALS have expressed concerns about a dead horse which has blighted Manorbier beach for ‘weeks’.

The frustrated social media users have said they have contacted the relevant authorities and worry that the horse will not be removed before the Easter holidays.

A post by Rowenna Sinclair on Facebook reads: “There has been a dead horse on Manorbier beach for WEEKS now.

“Council/national parks don’t seem to care and loads of people have complained. Any ideas who else can be contacted to deal with it before the schools break up?”

Concerns have also been raised about a dead sheep on Amroth beach.

Many have said that they have reported the issue to Pembrokeshire County Council and Environmental Health.

One of the commenters, Anna Strzelecki, has again reported it to Pembrokeshire County Council this morning (Mar 26).

She said: “I have just called the council again to report the horse and the sheep. They say they are aware of the horse but are waiting for the right tides to safely remove it, the sheep they seemed unaware of although I reported it last week and it is easy to access.

“If anyone else wants to call them the number is 01437 764551 if lots of people call maybe they will remove both of them before the Easter holidays!”

A HAKIN motorist has been banned from driving for three years after being caught behind the wheel with cocaine and benzoylecgonine in his system.

Mark Briskham, 53, of Waterloo Square, Wellington Road, Hakin, was stopped by police on January 5 as he drove a Ford Kuga along Steynton Road, near Milford Haven.

Blood tests carried out at the police station showed he had 800mcg of benzoylecgonine in his system. The legal limit is 50mcg.

He also had 64mcg of cocaine in his system. The legal limit is 10mcg.

Briskham pleaded guilty to two drug-driving charges when he appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court this week.

Magistrates disqualified him from driving for three years, taking into account a previous drug-drive conviction from 2020.

He was also fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £48 surcharge.cr

A WATERSTON man has appeared before magistrates charged with 13 sexual offences against children, including three allegations of raping a girl under the age of 13.

Chaisee Price, 25, of Biggins Hill, Waterston, Milford Haven, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court this week.

He faces three charges of raping a girl under 13, eight charges of sexually assaulting girls aged between five and eight, and two charges of intentionally inciting girls under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2014 and 2019.

Price denied all charges.

Because of the seriousness of the allegations, magistrates declined jurisdiction and the case will now proceed to Swansea Crown Court on July 10.

Price was released on conditional bail.

The conditions include a daily electronically monitored curfew between 6:00pm and 6:00am, no contact with the prosecution witness, no unsupervised contact with children under 18, and a requirement to surrender his passport to police.
